bsd/hfs/hfs_hotfiles.c line 1344 handles errors during the main loop in hotfiles_evict: printf("hotfiles_evict: err % relocating file\n", error, key->fileID); which looks like it should have been something more like: printf("hotfiles_evict: err %i relocating file %u\n", error, key->fileID); That's just a minor concern, however, with the larger question about what causes these errors and how to fix the problem as there doesn't appear to be any documentation about this (or hotfiles in general). Running fsck on one test system seems to take care of the problem (raising questions about what it changes on an otherwise clean, journaled filesystem) but that may also be coincidence. It does seem like it would be useful to remove a hotfile entry the first time an error is encountered to avoid continually spewing kernel messages.
